Part of Converse First String, the brand’s most premium tier product program, the collaboration uses the exclusive-to-First String version of the iconic Chuck Taylor All Star silhouette originally created for the military in the 1960s. This season, two patterns round out the Fall offering; one being a single bed space dyed knit displaying bold horizontal stripes, while the other silhouette is outfitted in the notorious Missoni zigzag pattern, created by a unique technique called Raschel revived by the Missoni house in the late ‘60s for high-end fashion. The shoes will launch in early September at Missoni boutiques (New York and Beverly Hills), as well as other select retailers globally.

The latest collaboration from Converse with Cody Hudson. These are the inspired sneakers by Cody Hudson for Converse (RED).
“The artist has chosen to rework the classic Chuck Taylor High by giving it a full leather upper with embossed art print details. The contrasting red/blue laces and matching heel tab makes the shoe stands out more.”

Chuck Taylor’s are always a good look for that day when you just throw on something quick. But these, they are just dope! Love the collaboration between these brands.
Afirst look at the collaboration between Missoni and Converse for Fall/Winter 2010. The upcoming collaboration on the Chuck Taylor Hi seems to do a little more justice to the Italian high fashion brand. The high top sneaker comes with a Missoni signature pattern all over the upper, including the toe cap. The lining, tongue and other small details come in premium tanned leather.
